First Take
This is a more-costly cousin of the Dodge Grand Caravan. The Grand Caravan that we tested was pleasant enough to drive, with sound handling and a roomy interior, but it is falling behind the competition. It can't match the refinement or interior flexibility of the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, or Nissan Quest. The Grand Caravan rides well enough with a light load and handles securely. The 3.8-liter V6 isn't as smooth, quiet, or fuel-efficient as the class leaders. The interior is unremarkable, but all three rows are comfortable for adults. The second- and third-row seats fold, but must be removed and stored for maximum cargo space.

Model History
2011-
Current Generation
A 2011 update brought a new 3.6-liter V6 that considerably improved fuel economy. Other attributes of this model include enhanced handling and better interior quality. While blind-spot monitoring is readily available, you won't find forward-collision or lane-departure warning systems, nor automatic braking. Poor performance in the IIHS small-overlap crash test is another safety shortcoming in a contemporary minivan offering.
2008-2010
2008 Redesign Year
The 2008 redesign brought new features, improved safety gear, and a quieter, more comfortable cabin. But handling, braking, fuel economy, and fit and finish still weren't impressive. The swiveling second-row seats are quite innovative and the windows in the side doors roll down for the first time in the history of the model. Blind spot monitoring is offered as an option, while stability control and side airbags are standard equipment. Still though, the Asian competition is much better.
2001-2007
2001 Redesign Year
The Town & Country is an upscale, seven-seat version of the Dodge Grand Caravan. In pre-2008 models you can expect a fairly composed ride and secure handling. The handy Stow'n Go seating system that debuted in 2005 allows both rear rows to fold flat into the floor. Their bays double as underfloor storage when the seats are deployed. The standard 3.3-liter V6 provides lackluster acceleration and unimpressive fuel economy. A stronger 3.8-liter V6 is also available. While the model started out as one of the best of the best, the competition soon eclipsed Chrysler's luxurious family craft.
1996-2000
1996 Redesign Year

The extended-length version of the Town & Country is similar to the Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Grand Voyager. They ride quietly, handle quite nimbly, and convert easily from people-carrier to cargo-hauler. A second, left-side sliding door is standard in the Town & Country, and a very useful feature. Both the 3.3-liter and the 3.8-liter V6s accelerate well. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The front seats provide good support. While the middle and rear seats are easy to remove, they're very heavy.
